Dwight feels like he is living a whole new life, and when Sterling arranges a collaboration between Dwight and superstar rapper Bonnie B (Lucio), his world changes forever–for better but also for much worse.

Dwight has everything he has ever wanted, but it all starts to slip between his fingers. Hitting rock bottom, he is at the point of giving up, and at one point in the trailer, Dwight is forced to face his demons; mainly himself.

“You did this,” Dwight’s mirror image tells him.

Later an intervention and the visitation of the Holy Spirit show him however that he still has a purpose.  Committed to doing the lords work, Dwight rises back on top. No matter how far you might have fallen, you’ll never fall beyond God’s reach is the clear message in the film.

This one’s got LOTS of holy highs and perilous lows because the higher you go, the harder you fall.
